Abductors muscles that seperate the fingers Adductors muscles at the base of each finger that draw the fingers together Anabolism constructive metabolism: process of building up larger molecules from smaller ones Arteries thick-walled,muscular,flexible tubes that carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the capillaries Atrium one of the two upper chambers of the heart through which blood is pumped to the ventricles Autonomic nervous system the part of the nervous system that controls the involuntary muscles, regulates the action of the smooth muscles,glands,blood vessels and heart Bicep muscle producing the contour of the front and inner side of the upper arm Blood fluid circulating through the circulatory system: supplies oxygen and nutrients to the cell and tissue and removes carbon dioxide and waste Blood vascular system group of structures(heart,arteries,veins and capillaries) distributes blood through out the body Brain Part of the central nervous system,largest and most complex nerve tissue Capillary thin-walled blood vessel that connects the smaller arteries to the veins Carpus the wrist: flexible joint has 8 small irregular bones held together by ligaments Catabolism phase of metabolism that breaks down complex compounds within cells into smaller ones. This releases energy to preform functions like muscular movement or digestion Cell Membrane the part of the cell that surronds the protoplasm and allows certain substances to enter and leave the cell CELL basic unit of all living things: responsible for carrying on all lifes processes Circulatory System controls the circulation of the blood through the body by the way of the heart and blood vessels Dendrites Tree like branching of nerve fibers extending from a nerve cell Connective Tissue suppors,protects and binds together other tissues (bone,cartilige,ligaments,tendons facia) Kidneys excretes water and waste products 1.Extensor and 2.Extensor digitorum longus 1.muscle that straightens the wrist,hand.fingers to form a straight line..2.muscle that bends the foot up and extends the toes Femur heavy long bone that forms the leg above the knee Fibula smaller of the 2 bones that form the leg below the knee Flexor extensor muscle of the wrist / helps flex the wrist Heart the bodies pump / muscular ,cone shped organ keeps the blood moving with in the circulatory system Myology the study of structure, function and disease of the muscles Humerus uppermost and largest bone in the arm / elbow to shoulder Connective Tissue supports,protects and binds together othe tissues of the body Digestive System change food into nutrients and waste Liver part of the excretory system that discharges waste containing bile Lymph Vascular System body system that acts as an aid to the blood system. MOST important function is to carry away waste and impurities from cells Muscle Tissue contracts and moves various parts of the body Three Divisions of the Nervous System central,peripheral and autonomic Muscular System body system that covers,shapes and supports the skeleton tissue Nerve Tissue carries messages to and from the brain/controlls all body functions Nonstriated Muscle called involuntary or smooth/ functions automaticlly Plasma fluid part of the blood and lymph. Has 90 % water and carries food and secreations to the cells Platelet blood cell that aids in the forming of clots Hemoglobin found in red blood cells. caries oxygen to the cells White Blood Cells destroy disease cauaing microorganisms Red Blood Cells contain Hemoglobin Gastrointestinal another name for the digestive system Skeletal System physical foundation of the body./connected by movable and immovable joints Striated Muscle volentary muscles/ muscles that are consciously controlled Heart Valves they are between cahmbers and allow the blood to flow in only one direction Tissue there are 5 types./connective, epithelial, liquid, muscular, nerve Nerves of the Arm and Hand digital,radial,median,ulnar Effect of Toxins on the cells cause them to become impaired or die Respiratory System enables breathing includes the lungs and air passages Central Nervous System consists of the brain,spinal cords,spinal nerves and cranial nerves. controls consciousmess and many mental activities Nails/ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY
